Some old vacuums, and people too.

Wanna see some Hoovers? These are Convertible Specials.

The post-war line up of 1946 Hoovers, along with a newer beige and brown aerodyne in front (to show off the redesigned Rug Nozzle).

 

[dysonman1]

The Deluxe Convertibles.

 

[dysonman1]

So many Hoovers.

The elusive Air-Way Zephyr. Look at the graphics on the blue outer bag. It's an "A" with muscles, streaking its way through the blue sky.

That would make a good tattoo.

 

[dysonman1]

And so it did.

Speaking of Air-Way Signature Series .....

 

[dysonman1]

Just cremate me and draw the ashes into the 14-layer cellulose dust container of the Air-Way Signature Series, where I can spend all eternity.

A 110-year-old Royal that still runs.

So many of Stan Kann's sweepers are on display. And I know he would have turned them on and let people run them.

Great pictures. I saw many growing up vacuums there. Great looking tour guides and greeters. I love the tattoo, I know you have a few cool ones. Your place is on my list of places to visit.

Wow - I would certainly like to see these collections some time in my life.
Excellent job maintaining these marvels.
I love the colors and the unique designs of vintage appliances..

 

[dysonman1]

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I'm more than willing to share my collection with anyone who wants to see it (by appointment). As always, the Vacuum Cleaner Collectors Convention is in September, and all are welcome.

Wow I never realized how many colors those Hoover Convertibles came in, seeing them all in one place all lined up is incredible!

Love the idea of all the Kirbys on a corner plinth too, that looks awesome!

This is the kind of place you could go to 20 times and always see something different each time!
